Judges 11:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ But when [Israel] came up from Egypt, [they] walked through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

¹⁷ Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let us, we pray, pass through your land, but the king of Edom would not listen. Also they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

¹⁸ Then they went through the wilderness and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.
